Paige Bueckers Reveals How NBA MVP’s Game Has Helped Her Mature On Court

Surely, SGA has been making some incredible progress this season. Facing a tough fight in the Western Conference finals, Gilgeous-Alexander led his team to victory in Game 2 following a brutal defeat in Game 1. He also played a big part in guiding the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 3-2 lead in the conference finals. 

Meanwhile, Gilgeous-Alexander is not the only person that the 6-foot star takes notes from. 

Paige Bueckers Admires Jalen Brunson’s Footwork

With only one season in the league, the 24-year-old is still learning. Despite taking the WNBA by storm, the Wings’ star has faced some occasional bad days. However, to rectify her mistakes, she is keeping a close eye on the NBA’s top stars. While Gilgeous-Alexander’s positioning has impressed her, Brunson’s footwork is something that the 2025 Rookie of the Year admires.

“And for me in watching Jalen Brunson and his footwork, I think I’ve learned a lot from that, his ability to like not be the tallest, most athletic person on the floor, but his consistency in getting to his spot, getting to the rim, getting to the free throw line, and being aggressive that way,” the 24-year-old said. 

Well, it is evident that Bueckers has a knack for learning from the best. However, how much of it she will be able to implement in her games is an interesting prospect that fans will be eager to learn.
